Homophobic Pizzeria Inadvertently Caters a Gay Wedding

[joeybee12]

The pizzeria in Indiana that made headlines earlier this year for declaring it would never cater a gay wedding has now done exactly that, per a video posted to YouTube.

Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Ind. had the distinction of being Indiana's very first business to deny service to LGBT customers under the state's controversial "religious freedom" law. (Memories' owner admitted he'd clandestinely been refusing to serve gay customers all along, however.) The pizzeria was then trolled by scores of Yelpers and forced to temporarily close due to harassment, but it also had its fair share of supporters: A crowdfunding campaign raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the restaurant.

Now, Memories is finding itself back in the headlines thanks to Illinois resident Robin Trevino. Trevino drove all the way to Indiana to pick up a couple of Memories pizzas, which he stashed in a cooler and brought home; they were then served to guests after a ceremony in which Trevino renewed his vows with his partner Jason Delgatto, says Raw Story.

"Congrats to Memories Pizza for (unknowingly) catering your FIRST GAY WEDDING!" Trevino writes in the YouTube video caption. Go, watch:

1. LOL.

I can see this happening more now. They'll have to put some sorta tracker and device on those pizzas so they can explode them en-route.

Bigots.

2. Picking up take out food isn't Catering. [nt]

[gratuitous]

3. I don't think the God of Memories Pizza is going to make that distinction

Sounds like the fiery lake for the proprietors!

4. LOL. [nt]

5. And Trevino just added to their bottom line

While eating his own time and money getting there and back.

Pretty silly really

7. Seems stupid to me

Now they have not only given these dirtbags money they also gave them more publicity. Seems like lose lose to me.

6. No doubt this will piss off the fundies even more. Expect mild yelping.

Maybe a few yaps.

8. Why not give your money to people who willingly cater gay weddings?

I've never understood this "nyah nyah nyah, you're going to take my money, you bigoted undeserving asshole!" nonsense.

9. Yes, and

for every place that doesn't cater to LGBTs there are plenty that will gladly serve your desires with a big smile and a Thank You.

10. Why would anyone serve pizza to their wedding guests,

when they could serve dry chicken breasts, sautéed zucchini, and roasted small red potatoes?

11. I think you answered your own question

[Snobblevitch]

13. Yeah, that was kinda my point.

I have been to many banquet functions where I would have rather had a couple slices of good pizza, rather than typical banquet food. The problem is quantity. Good pizza is impossible to serve to hundreds of people simultaneously.
